MICHAEL BRYANT, Appellant, v. THE STATE OF NEVADA, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Michael Bryant appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Linda Marie Bell, Judge.
This appeal has been submitted for decision without oral argument and we conclude the record is sufficient for our review and briefing is unwarranted. NRAP 34(f)(3), (g). --------
In his December 6, 2016, petition, Bryant claimed the Nevada Department of Corrections improperly declined to apply statutory credits to his minimum terms pursuant to NRS 209.4465(7)(b). Bryant's claim lacks merit. NRS 209.4465(7)(b) begins, "Except as otherwise provided in subsection[ ] 8" and NRS 209.4465(8) specifically excludes offenders convicted of category B felonies from applying credits to their minimum sentences, Bryant is serving terms for category B felonies, see NRS 205.060(2); NRS 205.46513(2), for offenses committed after NRS 209.4465(8)'s effective date. Accordingly, Bryant is not entitled to the application of credits to his minimum terms. Therefore, the district court did not err by denying the petition, and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.
